Thank you for a lovely long weekend in your amazing holiday cottage. Everything that we needed was here. We all slept so well and enjoyed our break with good friends. Thanks for all your help and advice, we managed to visit lots of wonderful local places. We will be back.
November 23
The house is beautiful and so well equipped. We ate at home each night as your kitchen has EVERYTHING one could want! The welcome basket, the spare toiletries (thanks for the toothbrushes!) the bedding and towels – everything is quality. We enjoyed the games too in front of the wood burner. The best holiday cottage experience ever! Thank you.
October 23
Perfect, a haven of peace and tranquility, loved our stay and will definitely be back. Thank you.
September 23
Thank you for a lovely relaxing stay in a beautiful spot. Nice walk to Peppercombe Bay where we had one brave swimmer accompanied by a seal!
September 23
What a fabulous and relaxing place to come and celebrate my fiftieth birthday! The cottage had everything we could ask for and more. Thanks to the hosts for being super attentive, and for all the little treats, we loved it!

A fantastic place to stay for all the family. We were 3 generations, youngest age 2 and 6. Lots of room for everyone to have their own space. So well equipped that you could just arrive with your clothes. Very clean and comfortable and the outdoor space is also excellent. The owners, Duncan and Wendy, are very welcoming and helpful. Would not hesitate to recommend this lovely home from home. Lots to do in North Devon and the house is only around 15 minutes from the beaches , Instow being the best for youngsters. Appledore is lovely and worth going to the Beaver Inn to eat. Also John’s deli in Appledore and Instow. Saunton Sands around 40 minutes away but worth the drive. RHS Rosemoor is 3 miles away and Big Sheep for the little ones was a great hit.

Weare cottage is immaculately presented, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated with everything you would ever need, a real credit to perfectionist hosts! We did so much in this beautiful part of Devon, but feel there was even more to explore, a thoroughly enjoyable time and we will definitely be back! Thank you.

Our second visit to Weare Cottage, and just as enjoyable as the first time. Great cycling along the Tarka Trail and such lovely beach walks. We love it here and Duncan and Wendy are excellent hosts! We will be back again soon.
July 23
Such a wonderful stay, the house has everything we could possibly want and need when travelling with children, as this can be challenging! It’s very family friendly and we would love to stay again! Great communication!

Had the most relaxing stay at Weare Cottage. Wendy and Duncan have been such fantastic and welcoming hosts. They clearly really care about their guests, and every detail is thought of. Our three year old loved all the toys. We would love to stay again in the future as it feels like we had everything to hand that we could need. We did lots of the recommendations, The Cyder Press was so welcoming, Appledore, the Flame Factory restaurant, Westward Ho! and make sure to get a Hockings ice cream! We reluctantly go home from a really warm and welcoming house. Thank you so much.

Loved our stay here at Weare Cottage. It’s so comfortable and well equipped, a real ‘home from home.’ The welcome goodies were very much appreciated and enjoyed! We made the most of the patio suntrap and enjoyed our evening meals out there too. The Cyder Press pub is very friendly with a good pub food menu and great value for money. Have explored the fantastic local area and enjoyed long beach walks at Saunton and Instow.

As usual, a lovely week at Weare Cottage! Accommodation perfect and relaxing! Looking forward to our next visit already.
June 23
From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed and at home in this beautiful cottage, so thoughtfully prepared by Wendy and Duncan, who are such warm and friendly hosts. Every little attention to detail was much appreciated by us all and made our stay a completely happy and comfortable one. The area was beautiful and we enjoyed a wonderful week exploring North Devon and the top of Cornwall. Appledore, Clovelly, Watersmeet, Bude to name but a few are must visits.
Thank you so much for loaning us your delightful cottage and we leave reluctant but happy!
June 23
Lovely, spacious, quiet, spotless, with everything you need for a great holiday. Body, boarding, cycling the Tarka Trail, Rosemoor Gardens and Quince Honey Farm. Thank you so much.
May 23
Wow, completely blown away by this house, so idyllic, just perfect! We came for a relaxing stay and this is exactly what we had. The area is so peaceful and the house made us feel chilled. Went to the Westleigh Inn for a meal that was a lovely, cosy, country pub. Had a great day out in Appledore and Westward Ho! with chips on the way home in Bideford. Will definitely recommend to friends and would love to come back. Thank you Wendy & Duncan, you were brilliant hosts and you have a lovely house.
April 23
We’ve had a wonderful time in this beautiful house, lovely and warm and comfortable to come back to after two days of Storm Noah!
Lucy S Jan 23
Such a beautiful house. Thank you for a wonderful few days. Hopefully we’ll be back in the summer.
Jos G Jan 23
We have had a wonderful long weekend over the New Year in Weare Cottage. The cottage is beautifully done and very comfortable. Ideally situated for exploring the North Devon coast. New Year’s Eve in The Cyder Presse was fab!!! Wendy has been a fabulous host – loved the Christmas touches and welcome basket. Will definitely be back. Thank you!
Simon G Dec 22
Wonderful stay and magical Christmas at your beautiful house. Everything was just perfect. We loved the fire, the peaceful garden, stunning views of the beautiful neighbourhood. House is so comfortable and spotlessly clean. We will for sure be coming back and recommending it to our family and friends. Best wishes and thank you!
Tristan N Oct 22
We have had such an enjoyable stay. A well laid out and thoughtfully considered cottage. Welcoming hosts with hospitality from their hearts! The woods and play area within walking distance was a real treat! Will definitely be coming back! Thank you!
Gemma O Sept 22
Another fabulous week here at Weare Cottage!
Everything we need is right here and perfectly clean as always.
First time having a meal at the Cyder Presse pub- a very lovely meal.
The Flame Factory at Appledore, wonderful pizzas as always.
Looking forward to visiting again next year!
Sandra A August 22
The house is perfection itself. Wendy & Duncan are both brilliant hosts who have thought of everything. Best beach locally for little ones is Instow. Appledore is a lovely village and great for crabbing – with good food at the Beaver Inn.
Big Sheep worth a visit. Further afield Saunton Sands has everything. A brilliant holiday!
Louise H July 22
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Weare Cottage is beautifully presented and Wendy has thought of everything. We’ve had a wonderful stay with lots of days out exploring the fabulous North Devon coast.
We hope to return very soon. Thank you x
Elaine S July 22
Weare Cottage is immaculately presented, spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated with everything you would ever need! A credit to two perfectionists! The weather was hot! hot! hot! 34 degrees on the hottest day!
We did so much in this beautiful part of Devon but feel there was even more to explore.
A thoroughly enjoyable time, thank you.
Barbara R July 22
A truly lovely holiday home with all you could want inside and out. Wendy & Duncan are superb hosts and so helpful. Cyder Presse is a great pub and very friendly. Beaches at Westward Ho! and Putsborough are wonderful.
We would come back in a heartbeat!
Sue R June 22
What a fab place! Everything we hoped and more. Thank you Duncan & Wendy for all that you provided. We recommend the Cyder Presse pub ( we want to pack that up and take it home with us!) The circular walk through the village and onto the Tarka Trail is lovely.
We hope to return to this idyllic spot.
Jeremy S June 22
Super airy and comfortable premises. Ideal for socialising families with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and facilities and enough different areas to enable different groups in the same house. Everything you need is here, from pots and pans to baby equipment and BBQ! The pub down the road is great with super ciders. Lots of walking, cycling and exploring to be done locally and further afield in North Devon. Stay longer than you think! It will be worth it I promise.
Tarka Trail is a particular must for cycling even if you haven’t in years! I could go on, just come and stay!
Katie E June 22
Lovely place to stay, very welcoming hosts with great recommendations for activities & restaurants. Would definitely come again! Thanks.
Jason L June22
Simply perfect! Lovely house and ideal location. Thank you to our lovely hosts, Wendy & Duncan for thinking/providing everything you may possibly need.
Sam M May 22
Perfect family stay, Wendy & Duncan are so friendly and have a wonderful home. The Cyder Presse is great for a few drinks! Can’t wait to return.
Tracey C May 22
Once again a perfect week at Weare Cottage. Absolutely everything you could ask for – and more!
Sri Lankan curry on Barricane beach is a must and renting a beach hut at Saunton Sands was so useful.
All in all a wonderful time. Hopefully we will be back again next year.
Chris, May 2022
Perfect in every way!
Sneha, May 2022
The best holiday cottage I’ve ever stayed at! Celebrated my 40th birthday in this gorgeous cottage with my friends, couldn’t have picked a better location or property. Wendy was just amazing, so accommodating and really lovely to deal with. This is a real home away from home, you won’t be disappointed. Didn’t want to leave 🙂
Russ, April 2022
We have been renting property in the area for about 30 years as we have family in Bideford. This is by far the best place we have ever stayed at, great hosts, stunning location and although we see that it has been rented for nearly two years it was so fresh, clean and well equipped it really felt that we were the first people here!
Definitely will come back, hopefully every time we visit in future.
Anne, March 2022
Delightful cottage – everything we had wished for and more. Fabulous accommodation and location. Everything you could wish for and more. Spotlessly clean and super comfortable.. Very much hope to visit again for longer than a weekend next time!
Thank you for looking after us so well. I shall return home feeling totally relaxed.
Barrack, December 2021
We had brilliant 5 days at the cottage! Everything was thought of – it has everything you need for a relaxing, joyful stay. We had lots of fun playing family games, sitting by the fire place, reading books. The house is spotless and very well organised. Wendy and Duncan decorated the house for the festive season for our daughters in a very thoughtful way – kids were delighted. We will surely come back to enjoy north Devon again, it’s a stunning area. Thank you!!
Eamonn, August 2021
This was our first family holiday in North Devon and we were so fortunate to find Weare Cottage situated in the beautiful village of Weare Giffard. North Devon has so much to offer families from the excellent beaches to the friendliness of the locals not to mention the quaintness of the many towns and villages we visited during our stay. Our hosts provided many recommends all of which were great – looking forward to our next visit and hopefully another stay at Weare Cottage!
Crayden, August 2021
Lovely property, ideal base for our week in North Devon. A shame the less than sunny weather stopped us making the most of the outdoor area.
Great host, willing to provide any help possible for our stay with lots of local information on places to visit. Nothing seemed too much trouble to Wendy. Would not have any hesitation in staying here again. Thank you!
A fantastic cottage coupled with wonderful hospitality from the hosts.
Hayley, August 2021
Beautiful place, absolutely spotless!! Wendy was so so helpful and welcoming!!
Paul, August 2021
Beautifully presented property hidden away in a quite village and only 15mins drive from the beach!
Excellent communication from the owners, with some fantastic recommendations for food (Farmers Arms Sunday lunch!)
We will definitely make a return visit.
Dean, December 2020
An extremely welcoming, comfortable and clean space with everything you might need for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Fully equipped kitchen, large comfortable lounges, loads of space, even a separate little office if you need one. We arrived shortly before Christmas, the house was beautifully decorated. Wendy & Duncan are excellent hosts, always available for questions and to provide tips and information. My two little girls loved the space and the toys, they even got little presents next to their beds from Wendy & Duncan. The only downside is that we had to leave at the end of our holiday.
Andrew, November 2020
We spent a lovely week at Wendy’s beautiful house. Wonderfully clean and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Very thoughtful touches, such as bath toys for the baby. Delicious treats including yummy cream tea on arrival.
Helen, October 2020
Great place to stay in for 2 adults plus 5 and 2 year old. Wendy and Duncan were very helpful. Lovely to have a basket of edible goodies on arrival. Nice to have some toys and books for the kids. Didn’t seem anything was missing – hairdryer, cafetiere, dishwasher all of good quality. Spotlessly clean.
Kate, October 2020
Lovely house, clean, cosy, so well equipped, every detail thought of. Beautiful spot to explore surrounding areas. Very responsive, helpful hosts who offered lots of tips and local knowledge. We really enjoyed our family getaway. K
Graham, September 2020
We stayed at Weare Cottage for a total of 7 nights from 9th September 2020 with our parents, for a staycation getaway. From the moment that we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and relaxed by our hosts, Wendy and Duncan. They were very knowledge and gave us great advice over the best places to visit and eating out, but welcomed feedback and if there was anything they could improve upon. The cottage is located just off the main lane that runs through the quaint village of Weare Giffard and getting to the nearby towns of Bideford and Great Torrington were 10 mins in either direction – handy for shops, supermarkets and other local amenities – but also for RHS Rosemoor, Dartington Crystal and the towns of Westward Ho!, Ilfracombe, Clovelly and Bude. There is also a circular 20-30 mins walk up into the woods which are behind the cottage where you can get a good view over the valley. The cottage was large, with 3 big and bright double bedrooms, a relaxing lounge and a conservatory (a good spot to see the squirrels and bird spot!). It was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and a great kitchen which had all of the things would need. There were little touches like hand santiser, anti-bac wipes, along with a welcome basket of tea, coffee and Devon scones which was greatly appreciated after a 7 hour drive. Thank you for a relaxing stay and we would highly recommend this as a great place to stay in North Devon.
Sarah, September 2020
Weare cottage is a beautiful place to stay. The layout is very spacious so you can all find a place to chill without being on top of each other. It’s is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. Wendy was a great host, who is able to recommend places to eat and things to do. We would definitely recommend a stay here.
